Marsha's Ornament Exchange Linky Party and a Very Big Thank You!

Welcome dear Christmas friends! I hope that you have had a lovely week. We have been busy getting ready for the summer holidays at our place! My kids finish school for the year on Friday and they are very excited! I have also been busy decorating our home these last few weeks. I am not quite finished yet but our tree is up and that is the most important thing, I think!



This year our tree has a very new and very special ornament on it. It comes all the way from Italy from a very lovely blogger named Rosanna. 


Rosanna has 2 beautiful blogs,


Well, we participated in a Christmas ornament exchange which was kindly organised by the lovely Marsha from the blog Marsha's Musings.

Marsha’s Musing & Sassy Mini Dolls

We were to swap an ornament that was representative of our country or had been handmade. I was so lucky because I not only received a stunning ornament but I also received some delicious goodies in my parcel as well!








 Marsha is having an ornament exchange party this week so we can all share pictures of our ornaments. Marsha has also placed a picture of everyone's ornaments on a virtual tree! 



Thanks so much for organizing this ornament exchange Marsha and thanks so much Rosanna for my gorgeous  new Italian ornament. I will treasure it forever!

Until next time, blessings and best wishes,
Natasha

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976
